DANGER
• Use only the specifi ed charger and observe charging
requirements!
If the battery is charged in unspecifi ed conditions (under high
temperature over the regulated value, excessive high voltage or
current over regulated value, or with a remodeled charger), it may
overcharge or an abnormal chemical reaction may occur. The battery
may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into fl ame.
• Do not pierce the battery with any object, strike it with an
instrument, or step on it!
This may break or deform the battery, causing a short-circuit. The
battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into fl ame.
• Do not jar or throw the battery!
An impact may cause the battery to leak, generate heat or smoke,
rupture, and/or burst into fl ame. If the battery's protection circuit
is damaged, the battery may charge at an abnormal current (or
voltage), and an abnormal chemical reaction may occur. The battery
may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into fl ame.
• Do not use the battery pack if it is damaged in any way!
The battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into fl ame.
• Do not solder directly onto the battery!
If the insulator is melted or the gas release vent or safety function is
damaged, the battery may generate heat or smoke, rupture, or burst
into fl ame.
• Do not reverse the battery polarity (and terminals)!
When charging a reversed battery, an abnormal chemical reaction
may occur. In some cases, an unexpected large amount of current
may fl ow upon discharging. The battery may generate heat or smoke,
rupture, or burst into fl ame.
• Do not reverse-charge or reverse-connect the battery!
The battery pack has positive and negative poles. If the battery pack
does not smoothly connect with a charger or operating equipment,
do not force it; check the polarity of the battery. If the battery pack is
reverse-connected to the charger, it will be reverse-charged and an
abnormal chemical reaction may occur. The battery may generate
heat or smoke, rupture, or burst into fl ame.
